Lose 10 pounds in 7 weeks - anyone like to join me?

MrsMcEasterBunny · 28/03/2007 15:11

Hello we did a thread a bit like this last year and it worked well so I thought I'd try it again.

I have a wedding to go to in 7 weeks and I'd like to lose 10 pounds. I'm going to follow a low fat diet and do more exercise.

I'll post my losses (and any gains) on a Weds morning.

Come and help me!

LOL!
I'm not ready for a sparkly (or non-sparkly!!) leotard just yet!!

Give me a few more weeks on this thread and we'll see!!!!

Well done mum03 - beat me by 1/4 lb! Only 1 off this week, but at least I'm going in the right direction.

Well done mumo3 and head girl, I am a bit of a none mover this week. Weigh yesterday lost 1/4 lb weighed today put 1/4lb on. So I think I am about the same as last week. Af due so I am using that as an excuse. Better go with the 1/4 on. Not surprised been crap with food but have still been exercising.

eclipse · 25/04/2007 10:38

Oh, I'm so ashamed. No move again for me. Stuck on 12st 2 forever. Must try harder, must try harder etc. Personal target for next week is 2 off. Well done you losers and good luck the rest of you.

Roskva · 25/04/2007 10:55

Oh god, I've gained another 2lbs . I thought I'd been (reasonably) good, too.

cedar12 · 25/04/2007 11:22

Is it the wrong time of the month Roskva, thats what i am blaming it on any way

Roskva · 25/04/2007 11:52

I wish - that's what I blamed the 2 lbs I gained LAST week on . I think the Easter splurge has caught up with my thighs < big sigh emoticon>

cedar12 · 25/04/2007 12:04

Oh dear!

MrsMcJnr · 25/04/2007 21:55

Theheadgirl I love it ? thank you!

PMSL Coggy ? like that too. I know what you mean about our losses last week it was meant to be 15.

You?re welcome PCM!

Eclipse ? the Magners definetly got me ? 3 ¼ pounds on I just can?t believe it. Miserable about it.

Well done Mum03 & theheadgirl

Cedar ? how are you doing? Not posting on the charting thread anymore? ¼ on is so much better than me

Roskva ? me too!

I'm sorry I have been away a couple of days - I have been very busy. How many points do you think I earned while decorating??

Ready · 26/04/2007 10:52

Well done Coggy!! This core plan is sounding tempting - if sausages and fruitcake still result in Platinum Star Loss

cedar12 · 26/04/2007 10:59

Hi mrsmc doing ok still temping expect lost my thermometer for about a week after I ov. Found it yesterday dpo11 temp still high af probabley due in a couple of day been all over the place since ectopic. How are you doing? I hope your feeling a bit brighter now. I keep an eye on the temp buddies thread I should join in really.

cedar12 · 26/04/2007 11:00

Well done everyone on the losses. Someone please give me a kick up the bum I just ate a chocolate brownie.

coggy · 26/04/2007 15:46

Oh, oh, oooooooooooooh!
I appear to have misled you all!
I didn't lose 2 pounds...............I lost 2 1/2 !!!!!

Thought the maths didn't add up so I just checked my card!

Even more HURRAH!!!!!!

theheadgirl · 26/04/2007 16:07

Well done Coggy, every half pound counts! You'll soon be in that sparkly leotard

Ready · 26/04/2007 16:17

Smug

sauce · 26/04/2007 16:19

Remember my 10 lbs off in 10 days? Well, I lost 5. But have gone & ruined it today from lack of sleep. Ate 2 doorstops of white bread, butter & raspberry jam, washed down with industrial quantities of builders' tea. Yum.

pussycatmomma · 26/04/2007 18:09

Well done Coggy! utter brilliance on your part, how did you manage it with lunches out and nibbles?? Ive stuck to the core plan to the letter, and tonight is weigh in night....
